The results are expected to include better management of the company, reduced technical and commercial losses, and improved electricity supply in Conakry. The Project will support institutional and managerial reforms in the electricity sector aimed at catalyzing the development of sector investment and access in line with Government objectives; and short term improvement in the quality of power supply, through physical investments and technical assistance. Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) was created for the identification of potential social impacts and to clarify principles and organizational arrangements for the preparation of Resettlement Plans for sub-projects as needed in order to provide all measures for avoidance, mitigation, compensation and monitoring to manage such impacts better. Overall, the negative social impacts of projects are mainly concerned with the acquisition of land at the right-of plots. Other consequential potential negative social impacts include the work of the construction of offices, rehabilitation connections, improvement of connection conditions and potential investment establishment. Other potential impacts include: disruption of living, the generation of solid waste; the occupation of private land by machinery and equipment, likely destruction of crops, the risk of disruption of worship relics during the excavation, the risk of accidents at work, etc.
